performance streetbike event. Produced by Gianatsis Design which
also produces the popular FastDates.com website and motorcycle pinup
calendars, this year’s event at the beautiful Queen Mary Event
Park and facility in Long Beach saw the Show to be another sellout
success as it was packed to capacity both days for exhibitors and
spectators.

very happy Jesse Rooke, our Performance Machine Best of Show Winner
with his retro Roadmaster bicycle styled custom "Rockett",
surounded by the beautiful and talented Beu Sisters and FastDates.com
Calendar girls Miss Great Britain Nicki Lane and Chandi Mason.

Exhibitor
participation for the Show was a sell-out weeks in advance at 140
Exhibitors and included a balanced mix of major motorcycle manufacturers
including Titan and American Iron Horse, plus premier component
manufacturers and distributors including show sponsors Performance
Machine, together with Drag Specialties, Jim’s Machine, Edelbrock,
Jardine, Pro One and many others. The top custom bike builders and
race teams in America included Ron Sims, Paul Yaffe, Harold Pontarelli,
Chica Custom Choppers, Mike Powers, MGS Customs and many others,
plus the AMA National Supersport Roadracing Championship team of
Corona Extra Suzuki sponsored by FastDates.com. Select boutique
apparel companies included Feelin’ Lucky which produced the
LA Calendar Bike Show’s official event shirt, plus Tribe leather
and She Devil women’s apparel to keep the girlfrind’s
occupied while the boys played with their big toys.

The LA
Calendar Bike Show offered fans 2-days of non stop entertainment
that included the exciting new Jardine West Coast Horsepower
Dyno Shootout run by Jardine Marketing Director Kerry Bryant
which was jam packed with bikes roaring at full throttle and with
hundreds of spectators all weekend. Plus there was Sunday’s
Bike Show Contest for Customs, Sportbikes and Vintage Bikes.

Performing
throughout the weekend were two incredible live bands. The Show's
featured act was the world's premier new pop vocal group The
Beu Sisters (TheBeuSisters.com),
four beautiful sisters -Danielle, Candice, Jilaine and Christine-
flown in from from their home base in Florida especially for the
Show for their first west coast perfomance of their critically acclaimed
new first album "Decissions" with their songs also featured
on the sound tracks of 2 hot new movies "Lizzie McGuire"
and "How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days." Also performing live
both days was LA's hottest blues band, 2000lbs of Blues.

While
in the parking lot next to the Show was this year's featured round
of the SB2 Supermoto Nationals sponsored by RussBrown.com featuring
America's top motocross and roadrace stars including Jeremy McGrath,
Jeff Ward, Travis Pastrana, Mike Metzger, Danny LaPorte and others
banging handlebars on an exciting motocross style course of asphalt
and dirt. Needless to say, fans got a day stuffed full of exciting
entertainment and activities and more than their money's worth.

Mike
Metzger (Hon) won the 14-minutes plus 2-laps Open Extreme Final,
with Steve Drew (Hon) finishing second and Matt Pursley (Yam) finishing
third. Jeff Ward (Hon) won the 450X Final, which went the same distance,
Metzger second, and Mark Avard on the FastDates.com sponsored Corona
Suzuki taking third.

racer and manager, former World and National Motocross Champion

Also
included in the incredibly low $20 admission price for the Show
was free general admission to the historic Queen Mary ocean liner,
normally a separate $23 admission charge to visitors. Plus on Saturday
night Bike Show attendees were treated to a free party in the Queen
Mary’s Observation Room Bar hosted by Keith Ball’s BikerNet.com
.

Another
exciting new addition to the Show this year was the Iron Works magazine
Reader's Olive Crest Saturday Charity Ride. Benefiting Southern
California's largest children's home and family shelter, with over
150 riders assembling at the Olive Crest corporate home in Santa
Ana on Saturday morning, were they were treated to complimentary
lunch by McDonald's, then they rode their bikes in convoy to the
Show were they were treated to VIP front gate parking. In all, ride
participants were received some $120 in value including all weekend
Show admission for their one low $35 charity donation to the great
family services provided by Olive Crest. Additionally, 30 orphaned
children from Olive Crest were honored as guests at the Show on
Saturday and were treated to an extensive guided tour on the historic
Queen Mary ocean liner. All the kids said they had an incredible
time. Needless to say the highly successful Iron Works Olive Crest
Charity Ride will become a regularly featured addition to the annual
LA Calendar Show.

And of
course, the Show marked the premier of the new 2004 FastDates.com
Calendars sponsored by Performance Machine, Mikuni Carburetors,
Corona Suzuki, MotoWheels.com with the beautiful FastDates.com Calendar
girls on hand both days to meet their fans, sign autographs, pose
for photos and assist with trophy presentations. The calendar models
included Miss Great Britain 2003 and SBK World Superbike / FastDates.com
/ Team Ducati Corse girl -Nicki Lane, plus Chandi Mason. And adding
to the popular pinup theme of the Show both days was the Calendar
Girl Pageant sponsored by the FastDates.com Calendars which drew
many more beautiful girls to the event. The Show's on-stage activities
were hosted throughout the weekend by Miss Los Angeles Ashley Esqueda,
last year's Model Pageant winner and a recent finalist on ABC TV's
All American Girl. This year's FastDates.com Calendar Model Search
Pageant winner was beautiful Anel Rossouw from Costa Mesa, CA.

The LA
Calendar Motorcycle Show again played host on Sunday to America’s
premier Custom Bike Contest. Ted Sands from Performance Machine
assisted with trophy presentations at the end of the day which featured
some $50,000 in gift awards and the Show's renown working Mikuni
Carburetor trophies. The coveted Performance Machine Best of Show
Trophy (this year featuring a PM polished aluminum drive belt wheel
on a base plaque) again at this year's Los Angeles Calendar Motorcycle
Show to went to America's hottest new builder Jessie Rooke for his
radical new hardtail bike "Rockett" styled after a classic
50's bicycle and featuring his now trademark "Single Sided"
suspension. Radical design innovations on Jesse's winning custom
included an under-the-seat gas tank to maintain the retro bicycle
look of the machine, an oil tank hidden in the swingarm, and a retro
style bicycle front fork spring. Jessie built the innovative bike
from scratch in just 6 weeks before the Show, working non stop day
and night in an all-out attempt to retain his title as America's
premier builder at America's premier custom bike Show.

“We
are extremely happy the 2-day LA Calendar Bike Show continues to
be such a huge success," said Show producer and FastDates.com
publisher Jim Gianatsis. " Response from Spectators and Exhibitors
is nothing but positive,with the sold out parking being our only
glitch. The Supermoto Nationals proved to be a great added attraction
for the spectators, but it hurt us as well in taking up valuable
parking space for many fans who had to park off site in downtown
Long Beach. For next year we will look to possibly moving the Supermoto
race to its own stand alone event weekend specifically for sportbike
and dirtbike fans. This will free up more on site parking for the
sell-out attendance we've experienced this year and last.

Our Long
Beach location at the Queen Mary facility offers a unique venue
with the beautiful grass park right on the water, combined with
all the great attractions the Queen Mary, the City of Long Beach
with its Aquarium / shops / restaurants / harbor facility, plus
nearby Catalina Island and greater Los Angeles have to offer. The
LA Calendar Bike Show weekend has even more to offer spectators
than other more traditional established motorcycle week venues,
both in the quality of the event and the costs for both local and
out-of-town visitors. The Los Angeles Calendar Motorcycle Show should
be at the top of every motorcycle enthusiast's must attend event
list as the premier Streetbike Motorcycle Event in America. ”

The 2004
edition LA Calendar Motorcycle Show returns the weekend of July
17-18th, 2004, with complete details and pictures of both
this year’s and next year’s LA Calendar Bike Show on

All
of us from Iron Works had a great time at the Calendar Show
and I just wanted to thank you and tell you so. We all agreed
that the show was very well run and everyone was so accommodating.
That has not necessarily been the case with all the shows
we attend. We especially appreciate your wonderful promotion
of the show - keep us tuned into how we can help with promoting
future Calendar Shows in IronWorks, say by featuring a bike
from the '04 calendar, as you and Dain may have already discussed.
We're looking forward to next year. Congrats for a job well
done!
Marilyn Stemp, Executive Editor
Iron Works magazine
